Mobile Suit Gundam AGE (Japanese: 機動戦士ガンダムAGE, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu Eiji) is a 2011 Japanese science fiction anime television series and the twelfth installment in Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise. The series was first announced in the July 2011 issue of Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic, which revealed early visuals and confirmed that Level-5's President Akihiro Hino would be in charge of the story. It was then formally unveiled by Bandai at the 2011 Tokyo Toy Show on June 13, 2011, where it was presented as a major cross-media project with anime, video games, and merchandise tie-ins.
Set on a futuristic Earth plagued by an interplanetary war that spans a whole century, the story follows three protagonists from the same family, each piloting his own version of the eponymous mecha to defend Earth and its space colonies from technologically advanced foes.
Gundam AGE premiered on the MBS and TBS stations in Japan on October 9, 2011, and ran for 49 episodes until September 23, 2012. A compilation OVA titled Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Memory of Eden was released on July 26, 2013, focusing on the second protagonist, Asemu Asuno.
